Stunt cycling is popular with teenage boys and lots of them were thinking twice about it Friday night after their friend’s death.

The victim’s name was not released but friends said he was a 13-year-old seventh-grader at Okerman Middle School in Florence.

Other teens who attempt similar stunts said they were aware of the risks.

“It’s like any sport, there's always risk but you know being safe is like the first thing you know,” Logan Spoonamore said. “You never want to hear that someone died because it's sad. It's a horrible thing and you would think once something like that would happen, more kids would realize that they need to be more careful with what they're doing.”

Florence police responded to a report of a juvenile injured in a bicycle accident. It happened on Connector Drive in the parking lot behind Harbor Freight Tools.

“While no one witnessed this accident he was seen in such a short proximity right before this happened we were able to piece together what we believe happened. This is just a horrific accident,” Florence Capt. Linny Cloyd said.

Other teens said they have had their own close-calls.

“I had a head injury and busted an artery in my head. After that, safety became more of an issue and I think that's something kids need to learn,” Spoonamore said.

Friends of the victim are planning a memorial next week at their school.
